1. More details would be nice
I'm not voting based on what I can only guess is the title of the bill.


For one thing, the Repubelicons have a nasty habit of naming their bills for opposite things.

For another thing, you have the habit of adding your own editorial comments to what you post.


So without details, I abstain.

4. I think guns should be allowed anywhere a criminal could have one. So if there....
are metal detectors I am fine not having a gun also.

5. Either it's safe to carry or it isn't.
What difference does it make who sponsors the bill?

6. They Should, But They Won't
how ridiculous, they'll take your water bottle, but not your gun.

I'll be watching sports from my home, where there are no guns.

11. The water bottles bit is about protecting their concessions revenue.
It has absolutely fuck-all to do with security.

7. Anytime we're talking expanding firearms freedom our side should support it.

8. Democrats should support laws which combat crime while not imiting the freedom of law abiding people
Democrats should choose liberty over "feel good" laws which do little to actually prevent crime.

9. Most large sporting events have an armed police presence ...
so they are not gun free zones.

If the police are not present, I see no problem with allowing concealed carry.
